Normally when we look at salary cap hits I know I look at poor preforming players or large hits by default. An alternate look would be to look at what positions you have large amounts of cap hit tied into. This gives you a view from players that you may want to keep but do not need because you already have an over abundance at that position.

Some teams do not look at a specific player but look at a position, basically the Patriots will not spend more than x at TE, then work from there, regardless of how good someone thinks they are the team has a limit for that position based on perceived importance) and a player has to fit in or go somewhere else.. It takes the personal out and makes it more of a business decision.

It makes the "I like him" decision into "we do not need him". because someone may be a good price at WR but we just do not need another.

Ranked Highest to Lowest positions by Cap Hit, then highest to lowest at that position.
